"Old nig** Kawhi" - Leaked audio allegedly shows Timberwolves' Anthony Edwards call out Kawhi Leonard

Anthony Edwards put on a show for the Minnesota Timberwolves in their win over the LA Clippers on Sunday. He went toe-to-toe with Kawhi Leonard, who has been very healthy for the Clippers this season. A leaked audio from the game allegedly showed Edwards talking trash with Leonard, calling the two-time NBA champion old.

In a video tweeteed by an NBA fan, Rudy Gobert was at the free throw line with 42.5 seconds left. The Timberwolves were up 106-100 and Gobert was trying to put the contest away despite air-balling a bonus show earlier in the game.

Edwards and Leonard were fighting for the rebound, along with James Harden, Paul George and Jaden McDaniels. As Gobert shot his three throw, Edwards was heard talking trash at Leonard.

"Young nig** versus old nig**. Young nig** versus old nig** Kawhi," Edwards allegedly said.

Anthony Edwards is one of the low-key funniest players in the NBA today. He's also getting known for his trash-talking, and the great thing about it is that he backs it up with oncourt performances.

Edwards is averaging 26.0 points, 5.4 rebounds, 4.9 assists and 1.3 steals per game this season. He has the Minnesota Timberwolves playing like a contender with a record of 28-11, the best in the Western Conference.

The Timberwolves are on pace to have their best campaign since the 2003-04 season, when Kevin Garnett was named the MVP.

Edwards finished with 33 points, nine rebounds and six assists in the win over the Clippers. Leonard, meanwhile, had 26 points, nine rebounds and four assists. It's also worth mentioning that Edwards is just 22 and is already in his fourth season in the NBA, while Leonard is 10 years older and in his 12th year.
